Club career

Born in Vigo, he began playing football at his hometown club Real Vigo Sporting in 1917, and he helped them win three Galician Championships in 1918-19, 1919-20 and 1922-23. He played for them until 1923, when Sporting was merged with Fortuna de Vigo to form Celta de Vigo. He was then part of the first-ever teams fielded by Celta de Vigo and played for them for four seasons.[4]

He represented the Spain national team at the 1920 Summer Olympics, featuring in two games against Italy and in the Silver/Bronze medal match against the Netherlands which Spain won 3-1.[3]

Being a player of Real Vigo Sporting, he was summoned to play for the Galicia national team, and he was one of the eleven footballers that played in the team's first-ever game on 19 November 1922, a 4-1 win over a Castile/Madrid XI in the quarter-finals of the 1922-23 Prince of Asturias Cup, an inter-regional competition organized by the RFEF.[5] Moncho Gil helped the team reach the final, where they were beaten 1-3 by Asturias national team, courtesy of a second-half brace from José Luis Zabala.[1]
