Anton Švajlen (born 3 December 1937) is a Slovak former football goalkeeper who played over 300 games in the Czechoslovak First League for VSS Košice between 1959 and 1975. He competed for Czechoslovakia at the 1964 Summer Olympics in Tokyo where he won a silver medal in the team competition.[1] Švajlen played five matches for the Czechoslovakia Olympic Team (one at the 1964 Olympics) and three matches for the Czechoslovakia national football B team, but he never played for the first team.
During his 14 seasons at the Czechoslovak First League he made 336 appearances (214 without substitution). Švajlen was also known as penalty taker. He scored 11 league goals during his club career,[2] all penalties, including five in the 1964–65 Czechoslovak First League.[3] He additionally scored a penalty in a UEFA Cup match against Spartak Moscow in a 2–1 Košice win, although the aggregate score of 2–3 resulted in Spartak progressing in the tournament.[4]
