Gord Noseworthy started his football career with the powerful West Hill High School teams in Montreal in the 1930s. Noseworthy made the jump directly to what was then called senior ball in the Big Four / IRFU (the future East diviision of the CFL). Noseworthy played for a number of short lived Montreal football teams, the Cubs in 1938, the Royals in 1939 and the Bulldogs* in 1940 and 1941. Noseworthy was named to the Big Four All-Star team at halfback in 1940. By this time Noseworthy was being touted as the best punter in the Big Four.
As with many young football players, a little something called World War II got in the way of football and Noseworthy spent the war in the RCAF as a bomber pilot.
Noseworthy returned to football in 1945 with the Montreal Hornets and then was an inaugral member of the Montreal Alouettes when they were formed in 1946. Noseworthy played center with the Alouettesr. Noseworthy played a second season with the Als in 1947 before retiring from football. After football, Noseworthy went into business, first with his own printing company and then with an ice making company in Florida. Gord Noseworthy passed away in November 18, 1974 at the age of 55.
