Early Years
Pinto da Costa was born in Porto, the son of José Alexandrino Teixeira da Costa and Maria Elisa Bessa Lima de Amorim Pinto, who fathered other four children, including future renowned forensic pathologist José Eduardo.
In his late teens, Jorge Nuno started working as a bank teller. Shortly after, he began collaborating with F.C. Porto, while keeping his day job; in 1953, upon the completion of his 16th birthday, his maternal grandmother registered him as a club associate, and he was an early frequent attender of the team's football and hockey games, eventually going on to work in directorial capacities in the latter department, in his early 20's.

“Even today . . . experts, usually male, tell women how to be mothers and warn them that they should not have children if they have any intention of leaving their side in their early years. . . . Children don’t need parents’ full-time attendance or attention at any stage of their development. Many people will help take care of their needs, depending on who their parents are and how they chose to fulfill their roles.”

“O troubled forms, O early love unfortunate and hard,
Time has estranged you into a jewel cold and pure;”

“Mee of these
Nor skilld nor studious, higher Argument
Remaines, sufficient of it self to raise
That name, unless an age too late, or cold
Climat, or Years damp my intended wing
Deprest, and much they may, if all be mine,
Not Hers who brings it nightly to my Ear.”
—John Milton (1608–1674)
