Timeline
Daniel James Sonner (born 9 January 1972) is an English-born former Northern Ireland international footballer.
He won thirteen caps in a seven-year international career.
A much-travelled midfielder, despite 18 years of professional football he never spent more than two seasons at any one club.
He played for numerous English clubs, predominantly in the Midlands, and also played in Germany.
In the latter part of his career he was easily recognizable due to his iconic long hair.
His more notable spells were with Ipswich Town, Sheffield Wednesday, Birmingham City, and Port Vale; he played around fifty games for each club.
In all he played 386 games in the English Football League, as well as more than 42 games in German football.
Starting his professional career with Third Division Wigan Athletic in 1990, Sonner never made a first team appearance for Bryan Hamilton's side, and so signed with Frank Casper's Fourth Division Burnley in March 1991.
After Casper was replaced by Jimmy Mullen, Sonner barely featured at Turf Moor during their table-topping 1991–92 season and so was loaned out to Mike Walsh's Bury, back in the fourth tier, in November 1992, staying for the rest of the season.
Making little impact in the English Football League, he packed his bags and moved to Germany for the start of the 1993–94 season, signing with NOFV-Oberliga Süd side FC Erzgebirge Aue.
After Aue's promotion he played in the third-tier Regionalliga Nordost for the 1994–95 season.
He spent the 1995–96 season with Preußen Köln in the Oberliga Nordrhein.
It was whilst at Cologne that he was plucked from obscurity by Ipswich Town manager George Burley.
Sonner would spend the 1996–97 season in the English First Division.
In two seasons with the club he played 56 league games, half of which were substitute appearances.
However, he and Burley soon fell out and Sonner was on the move to Danny Wilson's Sheffield Wednesday in October 1998 for an undisclosed fee, believed to be around £75,000.
Once again Sonner had fallen on his feet, spending the 1998–99 season in the Premier League.
He played the club's 8–0 thumping at the hands of Newcastle United at St James' Park on 19 September, and Wednesday suffered relegation at the end of the 1999–2000 season.
He was not retained for the following season after failing to agree a new contract and was forced to search for a new club.
In the quarter-finals he had given his old club some food for thought, scoring in a 2–0 victory over the "Owls" on 12 December 2000.
In the final he was replaced by Bryan Hughes after 71 minutes and was forced to watch his team lose the penalty shoot-out to Liverpool 5–4, after a 1–1 draw in normal time.
In a play-off semi-final defeat at Preston North End's Deepdale, Sonner, teammate Michael Johnson and boss Trevor Francis were all charged with misconduct by the Football Association, Sonner and Johnson were also charged for using abusive language.
Sonner was fined £1,000 following a hearing.
He played in all of the top four divisions of English football, with his greatest honour being a runners-up medal in the League Cup in 2001.
He soon signed for Birmingham City, where he helped the club to the 2001 League Cup final.
He was released by Birmingham at the end of the 2001–02 season.
He played his last game for the club on 7 November 2001 and was sent off 77 minutes into a 1–0 home defeat by West Bromwich Albion after a poor challenge on Phil Gilchrist.
Not long after this Steve Bruce was appointed as the club's new manager.
Bruce never selected Sonner for a matchday squad, and he therefore played no part in the 2002 play-off final.
After training with Wolverhampton Wanderers, he spent the 2002–03 season with Walsall.
He got off to a bad start, wrestling opposition player Tommy Smith to the ground in a 2–0 defeat at Watford, earning a red card and causing manager Colin Lee to brand his behaviour "a disgrace".
He managed to recover his reputation, scoring four goals in 28 games.
After getting released at the end of the season by the cash-strapped club, he considered a move to Carlisle United, before opting for Nottingham Forest.
He was with Forest throughout the 2003–04 season, playing 32 games over all competitions.
At Forest, a bad miss caused the late Brian Clough to say: "I wish I'd been out there. I scored 250 goals in 271 games and I could have put that in with my you-know-what!"
Sonner was keen to stay at the City Ground, but was released by manager Joe Kinnear at the end of the season.
Sonner received an offer from Eintracht Frankfurt, a trial at Kidderminster Harriers and an offer from Portadown.
Sonner spent the 2004–05 season at League One Peterborough United, then managed by Barry Fry.
He spent February to May of that season on loan with Port Vale, making 13 appearances.
Impressing during his loan spell, he signed with Vale permanently for the start of the 2005–06 season.
