Hyde Sun-Sentinel: Hyde: A fan, a quest — and a missing Miami Dolphin
"Dunn has autographs from all the players, all the coaches, except for Henry Stuckey, who never figured to be the story of anything on this team. He was a reserve cornerback. Unnoticed. A good soldier ant on a roster of stars, one who went about his job and lasted a few years in the league. He then disappeared. The team hasn't heard from him for decades. Teammates have no idea what happened to him. Dunn tracked him a couple of years ago to a low-rent hotel in Atlantic City, N.J."

Note: Stuckey was acquired by the Giants from Miami by his former Defensive coach Bill Arnsparger and started briefly at RCB before injuries ended his season, he was on the Giants roster for parts of two seasons...
