From street footballer to World Champion. From the son of Polish immigrants to Cologne’s own “Prinz Poldi.”

Lukas Podolski didn’t just make German football history, he became a national hero in the process. To this day, he remains one of Germany’s most beloved and authentic football icons, while building a successful business empire long before hanging up his boots.

At least, that was the plan.
