CL results corrections

A couple of minor corrections (unless the old memory is starting to go!):

1965:

PAO - Sliema: the score was 4-1 in Leoforos. The Maltese coach exclaimed he never expected such good football from a Greek side. The Greek press said PAO played poorly!

PAO - Ferencvaros: it should read - 1-3 (H), 0-0 (A). The first match was played in Budapest and against all hope PAO drew 0-0. Ferencvaros was very powerful back then forming the bulk of the Hungary team that would humiliate Brazil 3-1 in the 1966 WC. Their big star was Florian Albert, a one-time European footballer of the year, who could have fitted into the 1956 Hungary side without a problem. So confident were the Hungarians of a big victory that they loaned out their best players to an all-Budapest side for a friendly on the day of the second leg. The permission was promptly rescinded after the 0-0 draw and their stars led them to a 3-1 victory over PAO in Athens. That defeat caused PAO to split and fall apart the next year.

1968:

AEK - Academic (Aarhus?) should read 0-0 (H), 2-0 (A).

Please check the Copenhagen part as the Greek press of the time called them Aarhus.

1984:

PAO - Linfield should read 2-1 (H), 3-3 (A).

The Belfast blues went ahead 3-0 (!) at Windsor Park and PAO struggled (!) to even the score and qualify.

All done. If anybody finds any other mistakes, let me know.

Irlande, as for the Akademic part goes, I did some checking, and found several different names for this team:

Akademisk AB Copenhagen, Akademisk Bagsvaerd (suburb of Copenhagen?) as well as AB only.
