Stats
Bio
Recruited from Carey Grammar where he served as School Captain, Noel Voigt was a towering utility who played a significant role in Hawthorn's climb up the ladder in the late 1950s. Standing at 191cm—an imposing height for the era—he possessed the versatility to play as a key defender or move into the ruck as a follower. Voigt established himself as a regular senior player during a historic period for the club, featuring in the squad that broke a 32-year drought to reach the finals for the first time in 1957. Despite his physical attributes and importance to the side's structure, he retired from VFL football at just 25 years of age to focus on his professional career in education, eventually returning to Carey Grammar as a long-serving teacher and administrator.
