Before their game against West Ham United at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea FC paid tribute to Abhradeep Saha, known to many as Angry Rantman, the recently departed Blues faithful and YouTuber known for his rants and match reactions. The 28-year-old had 481 thousand YouTube subscribers and over a hundred thousand Instagram followers, but passed away recently because of an undisclosed illness.
He was in Bengaluru for open heart surgery at the Narayana Cardiac Hospital, but passed away due to multi-organ failure.

“Abhradeep Saha, aka, AngryRantman, Chelsea’s passionate YouTube voice, fell silent. He tugged the hearts of millions with his fiery rants, infectious energy, and dark humour. A die-hard Blue forever,” Chelsea’s matchday program wrote.
The Blues proceeded to win 5-0 over West Ham United in what was one of their most dominant performances this season – one that Angry Rantman would certainly have been proud of.
Nicolas Jackson scored twice, joined by Cole Palmer, Noni Madueke and captain Conor Gallagher. And in the process, the West Londoners climbed up to seventh to displace Manchester United on goal difference and return to contention for the European spots.
