The German has opened his 'Mangal Doener' restaurant in hometown Cologne – and got a huge reception

Former Germany, Arsenal and Bayern Munich forward Podolski is currently in Cologne receiving treatment on a thigh injury.

But while he's there, the 32-year-old – who now plays for Vissel Kobe in the J.League – opened his own kebab shop which attracted over 1,000 hungry fans to its opening.

Some loyal supporters spent over five hours queuing for one of Podolski's delicious doners.

At least that's his retirement plan sorted.
