Former Arsenal Fan TV personality, Claude Callegari passes away

New Delhi: Former Arsenal Fan TV personality Claude Callegari has passed at the age of 58 years. He told his followers two days back on social media that he would ‘disappear soon to see my mother then you can all be happy’.

On March 29, the longstanding Arsenal fan has passed away with the cause still not revealed and his family members have requested for privacy after his father gave out the news.

Due to heavy criticism on his analysis on Arsenal Fan TV, Claude wrote: ‘No one is forcing you to watch it don’t worry I will disappear soon to see my mother then you can all be happy’.

By the permission of his father, Twitter handle @ClaudeBanstas shared the sad news
