A number of his relations played first-class cricket. His father, Charles Toppin, played 25 times (mostly for Cambridge University) in the late 19th century; his brother, also named Charles, played a few games for Worcestershire in the late 1920s; while three uncles — Arthur Day, Sam Day and Sydney Day — had careers of varying lengths with Kent.
