Popham was born at Kensington and educated at Repton School, before going up to Hertford College, Oxford.[1] While studying at Oxford, he played football for Oxford University, captaining them in 1914.[2] He also gained two England amateur international caps in 1914.[3] He played minor counties cricket for Norfolk before the First World War, making 21 appearances in the Minor Counties Championship from 1911 to 1914.[4] Popham served in the war with the Royal Norfolk Regiment, enlisting as a second lieutenant in November 1914.
