No room for Jimmy Holder sadly, and although not in the top 5, for real madcap and unpredictable excitement, Roy Drake.................

Very tough this. I would go with:
Roberts
Vickers
Cole
Mustafa
Nurse
Beyond that list I would mention Doe, Vincelot, Cobb, Goodwin, Cavell, Benson, CMS, Uddin...........
We have been very lucky in 27 years to see some very good players when you think about it.
Hopefully in 18 months time people will be including some of the current crop on their lists.

It is very tough. There are so many different factors to consider like ability, character, big moments, specific memories. I could probably name 30 or more players I've loved watching over the years in this post. Robbo is obviously the greatest in several categories but the OP was omitting him so...
Cole
Matthews
Junior
Ogogo
Heffer
Some of the mentioned names already like Vincelot, Gain, CMS are very hard to omit. Tbh, any of the trophy final, conference winning, playoff winning or conference runner-up sides would not be out of place in any list. In terms of slightly more left field selections, I loved watching Danny Hill and Mark Brennan as they were just superb technical players. I think Brennan could have become huge for us if he'd not got that injury fairly early on. Boucaud falls in a similar category, just miles above most players at this level technically.
Others that I really enjoyed but not necessarily because they did anything spectacular for us would include Griffiths, Taiwo (first time round), Femi, Courtney Naylor and probably loads more!

Pre merger:
Joe Dunwell
Neville Fox
Mal Harkins
Jimmy Holder
John Borland
Post merger, taking Benno and Robbo as read:
CMS
Romain Vincelot
Mark Janney
Ian Richardson
Gary Butterworth
I see that someone mentioned Tarkan Mustafa earlier. I actually saw him play last Saturday, came on for the last ten minutes for Benfleet FC in the new Step 6 Eastern League Division One South. He is now 45 years old and is a coach at Benfleet.

Excluding Robbo nand Benson this is still really tough.
I reckon I’d go for
Paul Gothard
Jason Broom
Mark Stein
Josh Scott
Tim Cole
But we’ve had so many great players... 5 is not enough as I’d have to mention the two Lees - Matthews and Goodwin, CMS, Junior, Steve Heffer, Paul Cobb.... and that’s for starters.
