Football fans can bag themselves a free drink if they share their surname with a England or Wales player at any Greene King pub.

Greene King is offering a free pint or bottle of Ice Breaker pale ale or a soft drink alternative to any customer that shares one of 50 surnames with the players in the England and Wales men’s football squads during the home nations group stages of the tournament in Qatar. To claim the free drink, all customers have to do is show their photo ID at the bar during a live group game involving either team.
