Member Since: July 2004 Posts: 20 Send Message	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.
