Career & Clubs
Born in Luanda, Portuguese Angola, Gomes 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 Portugal under-20 team, scoring one goal in five matches as the tournament ended in victory. At senior level, however, his Primeira Liga input consisted of 30 games over two seasons, not being able to find the net with S.C. Braga and C.F. Estrela da Amadora. After leaving his adopted nation in 1995 and until his retirement ten years later – he had already had a spell abroad with French club Tours FC – Gomes 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.
