The super fan burst onto the scene in 2018 when his YouTube channel blew up thanks to his hilarious yet sensational rants about Chelsea.

He was remarkably successful on YouTube, amassing over 482,000 subscribers by sharing his views on football and cinema.

One of his most viral rants was when Chelsea lost 6-0 to Manchester City five years ago.

In his video, Saha labelled Marcos Alonso a “shambolic defender” as he rued the team’s entire performance. That video garnered over three million views.

Another instance saw him go viral after Chelsea’s 4-0 defeat to Manchester United in their opening league game on August 11 2019.

At the time, his meltdown entailed one-liners like "This is the worst start to the season ever, ever, ever."

Here are some reactions from fans:

"RIP Angry Rantman, one of the first few creators in India, it’s just show how health is precious than anything else."
