Nunan was best known for his career in the SANFL, during which he was directly involved in seven premierships. During his 189 games with Sturt from 1966 to 1977 he played in their 1969, 1970, 1974 and 1976 premiership sides. He played in the 1978 premiership side during the first of his three seasons at Norwood. He then coached North Adelaide to premierships in 1987 and 1991 during his twelve seasons as senior coach.
His solitary VFL senior game came while he was on National Service training in Melbourne.

The next week they both played in the seniors. Both then returned to the SANFL.
