It was unfair for people to make him into a meme but he's still had a far more successful career than the average professional footballer. More importantly, he's a massive success in life, having gone from a penniless orphan to a multi-millionaire living his dream.

From homeless to 17k pounds a week, that cant be too bad

People need to know that only 1% of the academy players made it to the top flight football. Despite the lack of training and foundation, he still made it to that 1%.

He's still playing at a very high level in LA Liga , he's very talented

Dude got a goal in the prem and the CL after barely even playing pro football for 2 months. Just shows how much talent he had and how much it could've been realised if someone was actually on his side and guided him. Fergie and man united 100% gave up on him cause they realised they were scammed by Mendes

I’ve seen Bebe play live back then for united etc and honestly he seemed like a physically gifted player. Very explosive, he was just too raw and under developed though. He’s not as bad as people make him out to be tbh. He’s better than harry maguire

in any other context his life would be a success. coming from an orphanage, no parents, no support, to making life changing money and being happy. so happy for him.

Can't imagine what he would've faced in this day and age of social media

I'm glad he's doing great with Rayo Vallecano.

This guy always delivers

His recovery after the United debacle showed a great sense of character. I guess the bullies at the orphanage helped him to build his will to be so strong. All the best to Bebe

1 July 2010 Vitoria Guimaraes signed him for 50K 1 Aug 2010 Manchester United signed him for 8.8M 25 July 2014 Benfica Lisabon signed him for 3M 12 July 2016 Eibar signed him for 1.5M 31 Aug 2018 Rayo Vallecano Signed Him for 750K Bebe is still playing and scored his last goal 5 months ago.

I've been a sub for a while and I hesitated at first. I mean you were good, but that was it. Recently, you have been delivering one video after the other, all of them so well-researched, so well written, and some of them delivering a nasty emotional punch. Personally, you are now among the top 5 football youtubers on this platform, no questions asked. Frickin' Bravo!!!

Do a video on bebeto, hes too underrated and deserves recognition, him and Romário were a deadly duo

He had a successful career if you ask me he didn’t reach superstardom but did more than more footballers could ever dream of

I see that ending as a W honestly. It's not his fault that ppl that were supposed to guide him did quite the opposite...

To be fair dude actually made a good career in La liga

This is not a sad story.....This is a great story of redemption.

I wouldn't mind being "scammed" if it meant someone in his kind of situation made it out, happy for anyone who makes it out the struggle

Your videos are awesome, Bro! Keep up the good work!

Bro your stories never fail to reel me keep up the good work 🙌🏽

His career ended up well,playing in La liga while being loved,not too bad

A very humbling and educational video. Thank you.

I didn't know Bebe's Story had a happy ending

It’s sad because if you take Mendez out of the equation, this is an inspirational story of a homeless orphan who made it to the bigs.

You know it’s bad when fifa ban 3rd party ownership for being corrupt 😂

Your videos are golden my friend.. Another great watch!

Great content as always. Cheers.

It is absolutely FALSE that no one knew who he was in Portugal. Bébé was playing for Guimarães, one of the larger clubs outside of the big 3, and was a young player in which the club had a lot of hopes deposited on. He was also becoming one of the young revelations of the league. When he was purchased everyone was surprised because the kid had just began to gain relevance and this sort of money and move at such timing was absolutely ridiculous. Nevertheless it did save Vitória de Guimarães finances that season.

That was a fantastic video!

I really wish he had succeeded. would've literally been one of the most inspirational stories in football but ofc, United fucked it up big time.

"So...listen to this" is now iconic🔥🙇🏿‍♂️🙌🏿

I watched some of his moments, and I think he is better than most of what Manchester United has shown in the last few years.

You can just feel the pain in his voice while making this video. Yet keeping his composure. Very well edited video

Wow. This is the best video of yours I've seen, and I've watched a lot. Footballers are humans.

I really love your videos bro. Always on point and captivating. I sometimes watch them while studying just to raise my concentration😀

8:45 cant believe no one is talking about his pace. And his ball movement was really fast And for someone to play on the streets then to play in a premier league team Wow

What a story. As cruel as it might sound, but that United move set him financially till this day! And he sounds like such a great guy, grounded mind going back to see his peoples and where he came from.

I guess his story kinda ended well, good for him

Beautiful story. Glad it worked out for him in the end

As a Liverpool fan, his story made me tear up a bit. I'm impressed how he managed to do well for himself and he seems at peace.

Nice episode!

This is epic

You are late but thanks for your upload,good friends!!!Bebe boss was a wasteful signing by Manchester United but he is a good football and I think his hardwork made himself to be a top player with Real Zaragoza,my beloved Spanish team I think and my full support with him daily and ever in this world!!!LONG LIVE BEBE BOSS!!!🏋️‍♂️

What a beautiful narrative!

Almost had me in tears!

The most heartbreaking story, I even coudln't resit my tears... I wish him the best

Great video though boss

That’s a truly touching story. May God give everyone success in life, like he did this man. God bless everyone !

He did a good Carrer and still delivering .

It seems to me that everyone around him recognised that he was special but none of them was patient...

great vid ! How about Manucho Gonçalves ?

one of the many suspicious transfers of Jorge Mendes.

This feels like a background story from a football manager game, when you buy a player without scouting him, told he is a wonderkid, and turns out he is not.

Well done

he was a few years older than me, we used to play street football in my neighbourhood in Cacém, Sintra.

He ‘s now doing really well for his la Liga club

oh bebe... this is one of my highest moment of my life, in the year he went to united, he still came to Porto to visit his friends, one day, i woke up, i went to my kitchen and he was there, with my cousin and my mind just blown there, i was so happy and so "fangirl" hahaha he gave me is united jacket from 2010/11 season, obviously i still have it today

Media controls is too much. I never knew any of this. Good thing is that he "won"... Thank you for the upload and update

That last line- he goes back to the orphanage, the one place he feels safe will really stick with me

Jorge Mendes Magic 😂

I remember that signing!

To say that somebody that was made a millionaire is a victim is hilarious and you know it. We all know it was a Mendes deal.

This guys not a CON but the greatest story in sporting history. He went from the streets to United to debut premier league and champions league goals with no experience haha. Imagine what was going through his head head haha

Make a wish kid"" got me rolling laughing

I like how everybody tries to make Ferguson look like a rookie, like he started in football yesterday and wasn't aware of anything and was "tricked" to signed him!

I remember watching him play live with my dad and we always thought he was a talented player, he was just too undeveloped

What a sad and emotional story. Happy that he managed to bounce back at Rayo Vallecano

he will be playing in afcon at the start of next year. It will be good to see how he has done

United might actually be a horrid club

I actually knew bebe from school times, i even played with him in a inter school tournament, believe me he was beyond good, he was really really made for this. But that transfer to united was weird yes, but was too freaking soon. I mean he prob still didn't knew which locker room was his team in Guimaraes still hahaha what a shame. Being someone i knew, and the quality i know he had i always wanted him to succeed, but everything that happen was againts that.

it's kinda like goal the dream begins, that football movie. a street/orphanage kid makes it into one of the greatest football clubs in the world, and even scores for them! sure he might not have become one of united's greatest players, but how many kids from his position get to do what he did? pretty amazing if you ask me! i love how after all those crazy whirlwinds of the pro footballer's life, he still remembers his roots and visits his orphanage, so different to many pro footballers now who just wanna live the high life...respect!

Football fans showing the best of humanity in this case.

What an amazing real life story.

He played well in Spain after united. He was a good player

What the way you made it seem made me think it was going to be a disaster. But he managed to stay a pro and live the dream many of us wish we could like bebe. This is an amazing story from a kid playing for a orphanage league to make it to United to score for United to moving on and still playing professional. This is a beautiful story.

Please do Larbi Ben Barek!!!!

I do really like your videos but I can see that your are from Portugal , esse sotaque português não engana . Mas continua, adoro os teus vídeos

That's life when you're not rich, one injury at the wrong moment and it can be all over...So much stress...reminds me of when it was my turn...

There were KZfaq clips of BEBE at the time of his signing to man Utd and he was balling out! Who ate all the pies had a bunch of clips of him on their site at the time of his signing. He didn’t make the grade at man Utd but has still had a solid career elsewhere. But yeah still a strange signing

Man has been crying tears after seeing his fail compilations in his Lamborghini

Just came back to this video after his afcon goal vs mozambique.. i was like i know this dude

Damn it that last sentence made me cry. Despite his ups and downs he never forgot where he came from. Thanks for the vid.

Make a video on Dragan Mance and his tragic end to his career

nice

This cracks me up when you get just 1 side… Three other United players - Cristiano Ronaldo, Anderson and Nani - were represented by Mendes at the time, and all three players had moved from Portuguese clubs to Old Trafford in previous seasons. Ferguson claims that it was the recommendation of his former assistant, Carlos Queiroz, that influenced him to sign Bebé. No matter how much the truth gets distorted, the truth is still the the truth.

I’m a United fan in the states and have never heard this story. Be back later I gotta watch highlights

For someone who knows so much about portuguese football, I gotta say that the narrator of these videos must be portuguese no doubt about it. And with that being said, from now on I'll write this comment in portuguese. Tenho uma gema para ti. Secretário (F.C.Porto). Corre um boato nos amantes de futebol que diz que ele chegou a representar o Real Madrid mas teve uma prestação tão má no clube que o seu "tempo de antena" foi apenas meros minutos num jogo particular (e eu sou Benfiquista, agora imagina 😂). Forte abraço e uma boa continuação nesses videos. Não pares com este tipo de conteudo que isto está a rebentar a escala de videos / documentários de futebol 🙏

I don’t think anything about him is funny. He had a hard life and anyone in his position would also play football if they could, let alone for United. His career was mishandled and he was thrown in the deep end. Full respect for him overcoming what he’s been through and he’s aces with anyone who has a heart. All the best to him and I hope he’s got a lot of money and can enjoy life now

Bro what did we tell you on Discord about the thumbnail clickbait 😂

17k a week is insane money to make, if you think about it you wouldn't even make that in 2 months or more working.

Touching story.

BeBe we love you, BeBe we do, come on BeBe show us what you can do. That’s the chant we all sung him at Old Trafford! 😊

He is not a UPS driver or pregnant but he always delivers

Ferguson left at the right time. His judgement was deteriorating.

Fans complain about where the game is going but one thing the game has massively improved on is player power over club power. United were always lazy when it came to scouting. As an AFC fan I noticed that they always tried to get the march on Arsenal, sometimes successful, sometimes not. They never had their own out and out scouting strategy. They relied on being the biggest name to nab players from rivals. Nowadays player power is dominant and Rice moves to AFC instead of late bids from City. Caicedo moves to CFC instead of late bids from LFC. Working on a player and not absolute trust of agents seems the way to go.

He was a rough diamond

It is a clear case of a player ruining his career by jumping the learning steps, but one of the few that are not to blame

*GLORY GLORY MAN UNITED, GLOOORRYY GLORY MAN UNITED, GLOOORRYY GLORY MAN UNITED, AS THE REDS GO MARCHING ON, ON ON 👹🔴*

I’m from Crawley Town, I’m a Manchester Utd fan, I was as that game in the away end as an 11 yr old. Bebé came on and I don’t recall him doing anything special
