I liked how Jan Koller played, especially at his time in Dortmund. He was a very powerful striker, and he had pretty good skills for giant player. I think he is a clever guy and he will easily find himself a job in a team's management or as a scout. Certainly, it was great to witness him so many times in the Bundesliga. All I can say is that I wish him all the best and good luck to his forthcoming life.

Yes, I am a Bayern fan, but I can appreciate Koller or any other professional players who have played for Bayern's rivals. And I always watched the other game's highlights as well, so I can remember Koller well.
