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.

Famous quotes related to early years:
“I believe that if we are to survive as a planet, we must teach this next generation to handle their own conflicts assertively and nonviolently. If in their early years our children learn to listen to all sides of the story, use their heads and then their mouths, and come up with a plan and share, then, when they become our leaders, and some of them will, they will have the tools to handle global problems and conflict.”
—Barbara Coloroso (20th century)
