Real Madrid star Pepe is best known for his aggressive defending and penchant for going into the referee's book.
But video evidence has been unearthed that proves that the Portuguese has a soft side after all.
In a promotion with his boot sponsor, Umbro, Pepe's father tells a heartwarming tale of the sacrifices he made to appease a young Pepe and buy him his first set of fancy boots.
It's a long video but well worth the watch, as Pepe's father is quite the storyteller. Highlights include a young, angry Pepe kicking a football against the wall (go figure) and his father's sleeping in his car on work trips so he could pay installments on his son's boots.
