Swindon Town 1993 play-off winners - where are they now?

Led by Glenn Hoddle, Town marched into a 3-0 lead thanks to a goal from the Robins' player-manager prior to strikes from Craig Maskell and Shaun Taylor.

After the Foxes struck back late on to square the game at 3-3, Paul Bodin's successful spot-kick following a foul on Steve White booked Swindon's place in the newly-formed Premier League.

Three decades after that extraordinary day, Adver Sport takes a look at where the players from that day are now.

FRASER DIGBY

After playing over 500 times for Swindon between 1986 and 1998 and eventually retiring in 2003, Digby went on to enjoy a couple of spells in coaching - returning to the County Ground for a short time in 2013 - alongside his work as a sportswear distributor.

He moved on from being landlord of Ogbourne St Andrew pub Silks on the Downs after six years in 2020 and briefly helped in the running of the restaurant and bar side of Bassett Downs Golf Club. Digby now works for Swindon Audi as a salesman.

NICKY SUMMERBEE

Son of Town and Manchester City legend Mike, Nicky Summerbee played 135 times for the Robins before a £1.3million move to the Citizens in 1994.

Upon retiring from professional football, Summerbee has worked in the media ever since - commentating and completing punditry work for a variety of organisations including Sky Sports, ESPN, the BBC, ITV, and Channel 5.

His most recent work included co-commentary duties on Man City games for BBC Radio 5-live.

PAUL BODIN

Scorer of the winning goal at Wembley, Bodin went into coaching after retiring. The left-back joined Swindon's academy set-up in 2001 and stayed there for around a decade before becoming the caretaker boss of the first team for the final two games once Paul Hart left in 2011.

After a brief stint as assistant to Martin Ling, Bodin left the County Ground to work in Southampton's academy.

He was Rob Page's assistant at Port Vale in 2015 and later went on to coach Wales U19s prior to being promoted to the U21 set up. Bodin left the Wales youth team by mutual consent in 2022 and has occasionally been heard as a co-commentator on BBC Radio Wiltshire.

GLENN HODDLE

First player-manager at Swindon, Hoddle repeated the job title at Chelsea before taking up full-time managerial roles with England, Southampton, Tottenham Hotspur, and Wolverhampton Wanderers.

The Hoddle Academy - which aimed to give second chances to young players who had been released by pro clubs in England - was formed in 2008 and become Hoddle's primary focus.

After a short spell as Queens Park Rangers assistant, Hoddle took to media duties where he remains now as a pundit for ESPN, ITV and BT Sport.

COLIN CALDERWOOD

Another of the Division One play-off winners to swap their boots for a whistle at the conclusion of their playing days.

Following 400-plus appearances for Swindon and spells with Tottenham, Aston Villa, and Nottingham Forest, Calderwood became manager of Northampton Town in 2003 and led the Cobblers to promotion in 2006.

Having left to take over at Forest, Calderwood repeated the trick at the City Ground in 2008.

Calderwood's coaching career saw him follow Chris Hughton around much of the time, taking in jobs with Newcastle United, Norwich City, Birmingham City, and Brighton and Hove Albion after a year in charge of Hibernian.

After a spell as assistant manager at Villa, he returned to full-time management and had two-year spell in charge of Cambridge United prior to his current role as assistant at Northampton.

SHAUN TAYLOR

The free-scoring defender - and one of several in this side to be crowned Swindon Advertiser Swindon Town Player of the Season at least once - began his non-playing days as a coach at Bristol City, the club he joined after leaving Swindon.

Taylor expierenced a couple of years as assistant manager at Forest Green Rovers before going to Exeter City as a youth coach.

He then became assistant manager at Exeter's Devon rivals Torquay United until he was dismissed in May 2013.

After being appointed professional development coach with his hometown club Plymouth Argyle, Taylor returned to Torquay as their new head of academy coaching - a role he still takes up to this day.

JOHN MONCUR

Moncur retired from playing in 2003 after 10 consecutive seasons in the Premier League, the first of which was with Swindon.

He spent time as chairman of non-league side Grays Athletic from 2009 where he employed former West Ham United team-mate Julian Dicks as manager.

After time spent working as a director of Drillmore Solutions, a specialist recruitment company for the the oil and gas industry, Moncur is now director of family-business JFM Cars which supply cars and vans across the UK.

ROSS MACLAREN

MacLaren retired at the end of the Premier League season in 2004 and become Town's reserve-team coach. He was sacked in a cost-cutting move in 1998 - seven other members of staff were also made redundant in a move that brought about Steve McMahon's resignation.

The Edinburgh-born midfielder was briefly the chief scout at Aston Villa and went on to become a coach at Derby County.

MacLaren was appointed Southend United U18 boss in the early 2000s before returning to senior professional football as assistant manager of League Two club Notts County. Information on MacLaren is extremely limited following his exit from Meadow Lane in 2006.

DAVID MITCHELL

Following the end of an incredibly storied playing career which saw Mitchell compete in the top flight of at least five different countries including England, Germany, and Holland, the Australian went into coaching.

The Glasgow-born striker coached Sydney Olympic and Sydney between 1995-99 before becoming the inaugural boss of Parramatta Power around the turn of the millenium.

Following a brief stint in charge of now-defunct Malaysian side Sarawak during 2005, Mitchell joined Perth Glory - first as assistant and then as manager between 2006-10 - where one of his crowning achievements was to bring in Robbie Fowler.

Two seasons as Glory's director of football followed, but Mitchell's most recent coaching role arrived in 2014 when he was appointed as Malaysian side Kedah FA's boss. He was sacked in April of 2014 due to political in-fighting.

Wikipedia states Mitchell has enjoyed varied work over the last decade which has included punditry work for Malaysian TV station, Astro as well as becoming Feyenoord's scout. Mitchell is said to currently be the Dutch club's Asian ambassador.

MARTIN LING

'Lingy', as he was imaginatively known, became Leyton Orient manager between 2003-09 once he had hung up his boots completely.

Following a brief spell as a scout for Hibs in 2009, Ling was technically hired twice at Cambridge within a matter of weeks either side of a falling out with former U's chairman, George Rolls.

After his departure in 2011, the east-Londoner took over at Torquay where he spent another couple of years.

Ling was appointed Town boss in November 2015 but had to leave around six weeks later as a result of mental health struggles.

In 2017, Ling was appointed as director of football at National League outfit Orient, going on to experience two promotions with Richie Wellens' men. He remains at Brisbane Road to this day.

CRAIG MASKELL

Maskell finished his playing days in non-league at Staines Town but stayed at the club as manager between 2003-12.

He is believed to have become a sports teacher at Southgate College during his time in non-league and later returned to Hampshire to teach sports at Eastleigh College.

STEVE WHITE

Following a 25-year playing career, which included 300-plus games for Swindon, 'Chalky' became director of football at Southampton's academy prior to taking up the role of Chippenham Town manager in November 2003. He would resign in the summer of 2005 after applying for the vacant managerial post at Bath City.

Since then, White has been a semi-regular co-commentator on Swindon games for BBC Radio Wiltshire.

MICKY HAZARD

A very brief substitute in the 1993 play-off final, Hazard joined Spurs before the Premier League season where he later retired in 1995.

Hazard worked as a youth coach at Crystal Palace as well as assisting Chigwell Athletic in an advisory capacity.

In the summer of 2014, he became manager of South Midlands League side Hadley and later left in October 2017.

Now very active on Twitter, Hazard is regularly involved with after-dinner speaking and punditry work alongside his role as a match-day host at Tottenham. He also loves his golf!
