Former Arsenal forward Lukas Podolski has opened up his very own kebab shop in the German city of Cologne where over 1,000 hungry fans queued to get a taste last Saturday.

Some seriously rumbling stomachs stood in-line for over five hours just to get a taste of Podolski's delicious doners.

The ex-Gunner officially unveiled his new venture with two fellow co-owners before greeting customers and posing for photos.

Now playing for Vissel Kobe in the J.League, Podolski is clearly planning for life after football with 'Mangal Doener' but he will have to sell a whole load of kebab meat to match his previous football earnings.
