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 containing the words early and/or years:
“We early arrive at the great discovery that there is one mind common to all individual men: that what is individual is less than what is universal ... that error, vice and disease have their seat in the superficial or individual nature.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“We do not associate the idea of antiquity with the ocean, nor wonder how it looked a thousand years ago, as we do of the land, for it was equally wild and unfathomable always. The Indians have left no traces on its surface, but it is the same to the civilized man and the savage. The aspect of the shore only has changed.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
