Chelsea FC followed through on a heartwarming promise made to the fans and, in their match against West Ham United today, paid tribute to the late 27-year-old Indian Youtuber Abhradeep Saha, also known as ‘Angry Rantman’, an ardent Blues fan himself, who passed away last Friday.
Tom Overend, co-owner of the website TheChelsSocial, took to X and shared the tribute the club had aired before the beginning of their London derby clash against West Ham.
