Swindon Town's Youth Team were FA Youth Cup finalists in 1964, where they were beaten over two legs by a Manchester United side containing George Best.[1] The team did not appear in the final stages of the competition again until 2004 where they lost 3-0 to Chesterfield in the Quarter-final.[1]

Managed by Paul Bodin, the Youth team reached the Quarter-finals of the FA Youth Cup again in 2007 before being knocked out of the competition by Newcastle.[2][3][4]

During the 2000s Swindon Town's juniors have enjoyed a degree of success at the Milk Cup tournament.
