Loads of rugby players, maybe 30-40 professionals over the years and many more to come (Three from my school now involved in Welsh under 20s). Plenty of British lions too, including Ieuan Evans.
Other than that Rhod Gilbert and the Go compare man although long gone by the time I was there.

I think that's a lovely, tactful way for your mother to explain away failing the entrance exam, although I'm sure all old Stopfordians are equally thankful you went elsewhere.
Some of us got direct grant places, as our parents were potless - probably not a concern for you posh folk from Wilmslow, who could flourish a cheque book in the place of intelligence.
Kings was universally known as 'third choice' within the educational system, which I always considered to be extraordinarily generous, as there are far better comprehensives around.
Was Ian Curtis in your year?
It would explain a lot.

Yew Tree High was in Wythenshawe IIRC a mate of mine went there.
My Missus went to School with Chris Bisson, his cousin was a good friend of mine, my sister went to school with Jason Manford.
