Does an appositive phrase need to be placed right before or after the noun it modifies?

A hot-headed tennis player, John blahblahblah
John, a hot-headed tennis player, blahblahblahh

What about this one?
John blahblahblabhalh, a hot-headed tennis player.

I think the first two
A hot-headed tennis player, John blahblahblah
John, a hot-headed tennis player, blahblahblahh
are both correct, as the appositive phrase is adjacent to 'John'. The third one,
John blahblahblabhalh, a hot-headed tennis player.
is incorrect for the same reason - the phrase is not adjacent to what it describes, in this case - to 'John'. The sentence could be:

John threw the racket at the net, a hot-headed tennis player. (clearly incorrect).

Any professionals around to validate these thoughts?
