Tough one to call as exciting doesn't necessarily mean the most skillful.

It was never dull when Rocket Ron was on the field. Sometimes you could just tell a red card was around the corner.
Steve Harper's 5 game a season purple patch was always entertaining, pity about the rest of the season though.
Glen Little and his permanent state of falling over but never actually doing so was exciting.
Robbie Blake could provide moments that made the jaw drop.
David Eyres cutting inside. Everyone, including the opposition, knew it was coming but trying to stop it was another matter.

As claretabroad says, very difficult to call.
Coates, Kindon, Thomas, James, Blake. Etc...
All obviously forward players but what about exciting defenders ? There was hardly a dull game when Colin Blant was playing...Jim Thomson, Vince Overson? Exciting Defenders ?

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Adrian Randall (or am I?)

He may have only turned it on once every nine games, if we were lucky, but he had all the skill you could want at that lower level.

Loved seeing Litle's goal v Bristol Rovers on Twitter t'other day, for my generation it's a tough selection between Blake, Little and Eyres as the most exciting.

Interesting to see Adrian Heath mentioned, he was on a different wavelength to the players we had at the time.

There were better players but when it comes to most exciting there is only one candidate, Steve Kindon
