Get 66% off FIFA World Cup at GAME if you're called Geoff Hurst

See what they did there?

Yes, it went over the line.

The World Cup is about to kick off and everyone and their dog is trying to make the most of it.

Including GAME.

The shop will knock 66 per cent off EA's FIFA World Cup game for anyone called Geoff Hurst. That's 66 per cent, in case you didn't get what they were going for.

If you're called Edison (Pele), Franz (Beckenbauer), Diego (Maradona) or Zinedine (Zidane) you'll only get 14 per cent off. Well, none of them scored a hat trick in the 1966 World Cup final, did they?

Of course, you, or your mate if you're dragging along someone who shares their name with one of the football legends, will need proof of ID to get the discount. I mean, you don't look like a Zinedine, so how would they know?

The promotion runs from tomorrow, 4th June for 10 days until England's first match on 14th June. It's all downhill from there.
