The eldest son of Henry George Nott and Annie Monica Raftery, Nott was a forward and originally played for Hawthorn from 1919–1920 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 1933.[4]

Nott married Eileen Ruby Goodwin in 1929 and they lived in Bentleigh for over 30 years. He worked as a journalist for the Sporting Globe after retiring from football and served in World War II.[5] He died in 1980 at the age of 81.
