Nick (Kempston) Hardwick - the center for the San Diego Chargers, not the former Inspector of Prisons.
Lance (Kings) Lynn - pitcher, most notably for the St. Louis Cardinals

If it turns out there existed someone called Mike Altnabreac was a gymnast in the 1950's it would make my day.

Sadly I can’t recall any Altnabreacs, but I can offer Richard (Muir Of) Ord, Teemu Tainio, Finlay (Scots)Calder, Finidi Georgemas Junction, John TreWick, and Duncan Fearnley cricket bats

Not a station, but near Exeter the Barnstaple line leaves the GWML at (Danny) Cowley Bridge Junction...

Also there's (Aidy) Moses Gate near Bolton.
