Apperley, writer on sport, who physically, was a trim, handsome man, slim and of medium height (he weighed 11 stone and was 5 feet 9 inches tall).

A spoiled son, an unsatisfactory husband, and a neglectful father, he always tended to live beyond his means and sponged shamelessly off relatives and friends. See ODNB
