Born in Kensington, London, Stoop was one of seven children and received his education at Rugby School. He came from a wealthy family. His Dutch-born father, Frederick C. Stoop, was a millionaire who made his money in the oil industry, and like his brother Frank was an arts patron of some renown.[1]
Stoop, a centre, played his rugby for Harlequins and won four national caps from 1910 to 1913, the first three as a teammate of his elder brother Adrian Stoop, England's stand-off.[2][3]
During World War I, Stoop was a East Kent Regiment officer and suffered shrapnel wounds in 1916.[4]
