Can anyone suggest some famous Stanleys, either people or companies?

So far we have come up with

Stanley Matthews, Stan Laurel, Stanley knives and Henry Stanley the explorer of "Doctor Livingstone I presume?" fame.

All help gratefully appreciated!

Thank-you

Stan Smith (Tennis player)
Stan Collymore (Footballer)
Stan "The Wham" Lynn (Another footballer, given his nickname for his hard shot)


Henry Morgan Stanley (of Dr Livingstone fame) was born John Rowlands in Denbigh in 1841. He was abandoned by his family and ran away to sea and he took his new name from the Captain - or maybe it was the owner, I can't remember - of the ship he served on as a cabin boy. He fought for both sides in the American Civil War.

How about the Marvel comic book writer Stan Lee? He wrote the stories for Spiderman, the Fantastic Four, X-Men, Daredevil and Iron Man.
