Bio
Arthur Fox jnr was a talented wingman whose VFL career was brief but distinguished, highlighted by representative honours for Victoria in just his second season. The son of former Richmond player Arthur Fox snr, he was recruited to South Melbourne from Red Cliffs and quickly established himself as a skillful regular in the senior lineup. His standout year came in 1949, where his consistent form on the wing earned him selection in the VFL interstate team to play against South Australia. After three seasons and 39 games, Fox departed the league to return to the Sunraysia district as captain-coach of Red Cliffs before later joining Rupanyup. His life was tragically cut short in June 1953 at the age of 29 following a motorcycle accident near Ouyen.
