Pub rebranded as ‘Southgate’s Revenge’

Greene King has rebranded a London pub as Southgate's Revenge, ahead of this week's England vs Germany clash.

The Torch pub in Wembley has changed its name following Gareth Southgate’s plea for the nation’s fans to show their support and get behind the team. A Southgate's Revenge beer will also be served.

Almost 25 years on from those infamous Wembley penalties in 1996, the time may have come for ‘Southgate’s Revenge’ after the England player missed his penalty against the Germans in the semifinals of the tournament.

“Being located in the heart of Wembley, we couldn’t be more excited to have such a landmark game happening right on our doorstep," says Cvetelina Metanova, general manager at Southgate’s Revenge. "That’s why we wanted to really celebrate and rally support being the team and Gareth Southgate by doing a special pub takeover in his honor.

“The atmosphere here at the pub on game day is always incredible when England are playing and tonight will be no exception.”

Over 1,000 Greene King pubs have been showing every match across the Euro 2020 tournament.
