Timeline
David Sommeil (born 10 August 1974) is a Guadeloupean former professional footballer who played as a defender.
He played his entire career in France and England, beginning with Caen and later Rennes and Bordeaux.
Born in Pointe-à-Pitre, Guadeloupe, Sommeil started his career with non-league Saint-Lô before turning professional with SM Caen, making his professional debut on 8 February 1994 against Le Havre AC.
He subsequently played for Rennes before coming to prominence with Bordeaux, where he was capped by France at 'B' level.
Sommeil was signed by Kevin Keegan for Manchester City in January 2003, signing a three-and-a-half-year contract for a fee of £3 million.
Despite an initial run of first team games and being the first Manchester City player to score a league goal at the City of Manchester Stadium in the opening home game of the 2003–04 season, Sommeil lost his place in January and had limited playing for the next two seasons.
In February 2004, he joined Olympique Marseille on loan, in a deal that brought Daniel Van Buyten to England on loan in exchange.
He returned to City for the start of the 2004–05 season but was dogged by injuries during the season and only managed two appearances.
Sommeil played in just 16 games in 2005–06, partly due to a fractured cheek bone, forcing him to wear a protective mask on his return, and also due to a three-game ban for a challenge on Spurs' Lee Young-pyo.
Out of contract in May 2006, after less than 50 games for City, he was one of ten players released by Manchester City, but made a quick return to the Premiership when he signed a two-year contract with newly promoted Sheffield United on 24 May 2006.
Sommeil made just five Premier League appearances for The Blades following his move from Manchester City.
He was capped eight times by the Guadeloupe national team and played in the 2007 CONCACAF Gold Cup.
On 19 July 2007, Sommeil left Sheffield United and signed a two-year deal with Ligue 1 outfit Valenciennes FC.
He then played in the Premier League for both Manchester City and Sheffield United that was separated by a loan spell back in Ligue 1 with Marseille, before retiring in 2008 with Valenciennes.
During a training session on 20 August 2008 with his club Valenciennes he suffered a suspected heart attack.
The 34-year-old player collapsed during the session but his exact condition was not immediately known.
After six days in a coma he regained consciousness but was still to recover his speech.
By 9 October, Sommeil had regained the ability to speak and use both of his arms, and was able to walk again, his condition "improving".
