Baía hails Jorge Costa: “A true legend of our club’s history” | OneFootball

Vítor Baía took to social media to pay tribute to his friend Jorge Costa, who passed away on August 5. In a moving message, the former goalkeeper recalled that they celebrated their birthdays on consecutive days – Jorge Costa would have turned 54 this Tuesday and Vítor Baía will turn 56 tomorrow – and that this year, the celebration will be “hard.”

The former FC Porto goalkeeper also took the opportunity to highlight Jorge Costa’s legacy and his importance to the club.

"We used to celebrate our birthdays on consecutive days, which brought us even closer. This year, however, the celebration is hard; it comes first to honor the memory of one of the greatest and most genuine figures in the history of our club; of the Man who, through his character, values, leadership, and performance, helped, like very few others, to define what it truly means to be FC Porto. It was an honor to share this shirt with you, my dear Bicho," wrote Baía.
