Football career
Born in Luanda, Portuguese Angola, Gil moved to Portugal at a young age, joining S.L. Benfica's youth system at the age of 14. He excelled at the 1991 FIFA World Youth Championship with the Portuguese under-20 team, scoring one goal in five games as the tournament ended in victory; at senior level, however, his Primeira Liga input consisted of 30 games over the course of two seasons, not being able to find the net with Braga and Estrela da Amadora.
After leaving his adopted nation in 1995 and until his retirement 10 years later – he had already had an abroad spell with Tours in France – Gil played all but exclusively in lower league and amateur football. In his last six seasons he competed in England, representing Welwitchia, Hendon, Middlewich Town, Salford City, Hyde United and New East Manchester.
Personal life
Gil's son, Angel Gomes, was born in England while his father was playing there, and represented both Manchester United and England at youth level.
