Most exciting player ever

Who do you rate as the most exciting player to have played the game is?

For me its out of :

Ronnie O'Sullivan, Alex Higgins, Stephen Hendry and Jimmy White.

For me Ronnie O'Sullivan has been the most exciting player ever. With Alex Higgins a nearby second.

One for the future is Judd Trump who I think could match or even exceed Ronnie.

Paul Hunter is still missed TSC, it is still such a sad thing but as long as fans like us remember him then his memory wont die.

LM, Ronnie is something else isnt he. He plays some draw droppingly good snooker at times.

Jimmy was the most exciting when he first broke into the game at the beginning of the 1980s.

Jimmy was exciting but i feel that Ronnie took it to another level.

For me it will always be Higgy. The atmosphere really was electric when he was playing, and even though most were routing for him, his opponents loved playing in that atmosphere also. Even if the snooker wasn't that good, there was just always such a buzz when Alex played - the original, and most exciting player there has been. And I never get tired of watching 'that break'.

I doubt that anyone will forget Alex Higgins. He did hold a presence at the table.

I would have to vote for myself to be honest. I dont knock in many pots but its pretty exciting stuff when I am at the table. On one occasion, I thrashed at a long red, missed and I think all 22 balls were moving around the table at the same time

For sheer excitement it was always Alex Higgins. You never knew what he was going to do next. In his heyday White was as good as any of them and despite O'Sullivan's undoubted ability he all too often provided no entertainment.
