About this episode

Lukas Podolski played for world-famous clubs like Bayern Munich, Arsenal, and Inter. He represented Germany 130 times. However, growing up as a kid in Poland, his favorite football team was always Gornik Zabrze, a fallen giant from the south of Poland.


Podolski realized a childhood dream in 2021 when he signed with Gornik. At 38 years old, he is still going strong in the Polish league. We met Podolski in Zabrze when he opened a pitch for the city's youth in collaboration with the Bundesliga. We sat down with him at the Gornik stadium and talked about the club, the area, and his childhood dream of playing there.
