Read a story in the DMN today about a homeless kid who grew up on the streets of Lisbon and moved into an orphanage at 10 years old. He learned to play soccer on the streets and dreamed of playing in the Homeless World Cup. The shelter had ties to a local club and he worked his way through the ranks, playing 6 pre-season games with a top tier team this year.
Recently, Sir Alex from Man U got word of Bebe, now 20 and went for a look-see. He signed him, real name Tiago Manuel Dias Correia, on the spot and paid an $11.5 million dollar transfer fee. Now, Bebe lives in his own home and is very happy to be with Man U. He was quoted as saying, 'I remember so many nights sleeping on the streets. When I look at what's happened, it's like sports' version of Cinderalla.'
You never know where the streets of life will take you, but with the right idea and a winning attitude, they may eventually be lined in gold.
