Enda Stevens has been a cool customer at left-back for Villa during the past few games and he explains why in the latest issue of the Villa News & Record.

The young Irishman is the subject of our latest exclusive player interview and he talks at length about his big breakthrough in Paul Lambert's team - as well as recalling an eerie night in Romania.

All-action midfielder Brett Holman, meanwhile, tells us he has no problem in being compared with the player Villa fans used to love to hate, and there's also a centre-page poster of Darren Bent plus facts and figures about the club's record signing.

The regular My Favourite Villan feature turns the spotlight on a striker who made one particular Villa supporter jealous - because the early part of his career was spent with two other Midlands clubs.

And John Gregory takes the chair in Cult Hero, a straight-talking question and answer session with a man who played for Villa and returned for a successful spell as manager.

Then there's skipper Ron Vlaar's column, the thoughts of manager Paul Lambert and some hard-hitting comments from former Villa star Stan Collymore about the lopsided fixture list.
