I agree about Fox and I've added him to the missing player list.
I'm generally skeptical of listing any player as "found" when we have only one image that does not include primary source information. I can't think of others off the top of my head right now, but I know that there are more. As much as I also hesitate to add to the Missing Player list, I'd rather have those players listed there, where several of us will actively search for source data and/or alternates, than have unconfirmed images that may or may not depict the players in question.
