Sports Story: Manchester United Signs a Homeless Kid

August 13th, 2010  •   Posted by: Mark Sabb  •   Posted in: Sports Story  •   Comment

Man U has signed street football legend, 20 year-old Tiago Manuel Dias Correia, nick named Bebe, from Portugal. The dude is a former Homeless World Cup Star, and was given a 7 million pound deal. 20 years old, once homeless, now filthy rich; and I blog because?

“He was raised on the streets and that’s where he learned to play his football. All the players come through youth academies now and they’re all the same. Bebe is nothing like that. He’s an old-fashioned player. He learned everything that he knows on the street. He possesses a natural creativity and that could really make a difference.”
Jorge Paixo, Bebe’s former coach.
