Frederick MacFarlane "Tim" Stoop (17 September 1888 – 24 November 1972) was an English international rugby union player of the 1910s.
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 an East Kent Regiment officer and suffered shrapnel wounds in 1916.[4]
