Lukas Podolski, the 32-year-old returned from his current club Vissel Kobe in Japan to his home city of Cologne at the weekend to open his own kebab shop.
According to reports, there were queues for hours before the former Arsenal and Galatasaray striker arrived to shave off the first slices of lamb for over 1,000 hungry fans packed into the city's Chlodwigplatz.
"You eat doner kebabs when you're young, when you're still playing and when you've finished playing – it's a perfect solution," Podolski explained his business plan, which came 50 percent from his heart and 50 percent from his stomach.
It is not the first food outlet opened by the former Galatasaray star in Cologne.
Recall that Last summer, he opened Ice Cream United, whose name gives away what culinary delights are on offer there, in the popular Belgian district of the city.
"Ice cream and doner kebabs – I love it!" exclaimed Podolski.
