Aston Villa winger Charles N'Zogbia is delighted with the way fans have taken to him.
The France winger faces former club Wigan Athletic tomorrow.
N'Zogbia said: "I heard they ran out of the letter 'Z' in the club shop which is flattering for me of course when I see people walking around with my name on their shirt.
"It gives you a lot of confidence and you feel like you want to do it for them because they are really behind you and supporting you so it makes you never want to give up.
"For me it was slightly strange at first but it definitely gives me the extra encouragement to play the way I can."
