Early life

The eldest son of Henry George Nott and Annie Monica Nott, nee Raftery, Cyril Edwin Henry Nott was born at Hawthorn, Victoria on 4 December 1898.

Football

Cyril Nott was a forward and originally played for Hawthorn from 1919 to 1920 in the Victorian Football Association (VFA). He joined Richmond[2] for the 1921–1922 seasons but only managed five games and returned to Hawthorn in 1923.[3] After Hawthorn was admitted to the VFL in 1925, Nott played a further 18 VFL games.

In 1927 Nott accepted a position at Oakleigh Football Club as captain-coach. He stepped down as coach at the end of the season but continued to play for Oakleigh (who were admitted to the VFA in 1929) until 1930.[4]

Later life
