difficult as been so many good players over the years, but my personal best 5 would be as follows.

1) rod altes. very good all round player, good tactically and a great potter. hard to beat.

2) sean halligan. great player and a brilliant potter, always enjoyed watching him play. brilliant shot maker.

3) mev ali. again a brilliant potter who can rattle off frames with ease.

4) jacko. cant argue with his trophy haul. solid all round game with few weaknesses.

5) dave macdonald. had to include one of my old team mates, mr 147 (many times) undoubtedly the best player ive played with,could have won loads but wasn't bothered.
