| | Swindon-Town-FC.co.uk - Shay GIVEN |
 | | Given had two loan spells at Swindon - the first coming midway through the relegation season of 1994/95, when he acted as backup to regular choice Fraser Digby, and the second at the beginning of the following season, when, with Digby injured, Given made five appearances. |
 | | Obviously talented, Swindon boss Steve McMahon tried to extend his loan spell, but Blackburn refused - eventually allowing Given to go to Sunderland on a longer loan deal, whilst Swindon brought in Blackburn's fourth choice keeper, Frank Talia. |
 | | Given went on to become the Republic of Ireland's first choice keeper, playing in the World Cup Finals in 2002. |
