Club career
Gail was born in Valladolid, Castile and León. After emerging through the club's youth ranks, he made his senior debuts for local Real Valladolid at only 16. He first appeared in La Liga in the 1980–81 campaign, competing with the side in that level in six straight seasons, scoring more than 40 official goals and helping to the conquest of the (short-lived) Copa de la Liga in his final year, against Atlético Madrid.
In the 1986 summer, Gail joined Real Betis also in the top division. He netted nine times in the league in his first two years combined but also suffered relegation to Segunda División twice, eventually retiring from professional football at only 30 with totals of 350 games and 46 goals.
Gail took up coaching subsequently, but never in higher than Segunda División B.
