Pub chain Greene King is offering free drinks to customers who share a surname with any of the 50 members of the England or Wales football squads for the 2022 World Cup. The offer is available at more than 800 participating pubs across the UK.
To claim a free pint, bottle of Ice Breaker Pale Ale, or a soft drink alternative, pubgoers must show photo ID at the bar during a live group game involving either home nation. The chain will be showing every England and Wales match of the tournament at its sports pubs.
Chris Conchie, head of marketing for Greene King sport, said: “Any international football tournament is a major event for fans, and since the success of the Lionesses earlier this year, all eyes are on the men’s teams this winter. This limited time offer is more than just a free drink, it’s a chance for us, as your home of pub sport, to provide the best environment for people to come and show their support.”
The eligible surnames include Hennessey, Ward, Davies, Cabango, Lockyer, Rodon, Mepham, Ampadu, Gunter, Williams, Roberts, Thomas, Allen, Smith, Levitt, Wilson, Morrell, Ramsey, Colwill, Bale, Moore, Harris, Johnson, James, Pickford, Pope, Ramsdale, Alexander-Arnold, Coady, Dier, Maguire, Shaw, Stones, Trippier, Walker, White, Bellingham, Gallagher, Henderson, Mount, Phillips, Rice, Foden, Grealish, Kane, Maddison, Rashford, Saka, Sterling, and Wilson.
