I’m not necessarily looking for stations which are named after sportspeople. Just those that share part or all of their name with one. My main motive for this thread is the fact that I have managed to identify five such stations within close proximity of each other in North East London alone. They are as follows:


Phil Tufnell Park

Peter Crouch Hill

Ian Holloway Road

Gareth Southgate

Arsenal Wenger*

*Debatable as not all characters of the first name in question are present

So please free to nominate some of your own ‘sportsman’s stations’. Any National Rail, TFL, tram, metro or heritage railway station within the UK is allowed.

If phonic matches are acceptable, there's Lewes Hamilton.

Gordon Hill is both a footballer and a (separate individual) referee...

(well it's now called Outwood but Lofthouse station was pretty close to the current one)

Trent Alexander-Arnold.

I know it's closed, but it's the only one I could think of.
