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.

“Perhaps the most valuable result of all education is the ability to make yourself do the thing you have to do, when it ought to be done, whether you like it or not; it is the first lesson that ought to be learned; and however early a man’s training begins, its probably the last lesson that he learns thoroughly.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
“I have lived some thirty-odd years on this planet, and I have yet to hear the first syllable of valuable or even earnest advice from my seniors.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
