Hi Garry,
Loved your book, and I think the website is great.
I am a complete anorak for THAT team, for all the same reasons as yourself. I do think, however, that Saldanha does not get the credit he deserves. His committment to jogo bonito and his love for his 'feras' laid the foundations. Zagalo's instincts were always cautious, and I recall feeling crushed by the dourness of the 1974 team he assembled.
Is your aim to build this site up with as much info and imagery as you can amass? I have some great stuff to share (but I do not know enough about copywrite issues re images) , and would be happy to chip in with some factual corrections regarding existing text if you wished.
I often find myself in search engines looking for 'new' stuff, and there are some good resources out there. But it would be fantastic if there was one main repository. Even seemingly simple facts like: who selected the initial list of 40 players submitted to FIFA (Joao or Mario) and on what date? And what are the 'shirt' names for all of them (I think I have identified 39 from those (mis)printed in the official Mexico 1970 programme)? can be frustratingly elusive.
Fell free to contact me and good luck with the site.
