Career
His county cricket career was entirely without success, his highest score being a mere 10. After his first-class career was over, Toppin played club cricket for Blackheath Cricket Club, appearing in a single-innings 12-a-side match against the touring Indians in 1932. He took no wickets and scored no runs, but did hold a catch to dismiss Sorabji Colah.
A number of his relatives played first-class cricket.
