My grandmother was a The Player fan! In 1970, her pacemaker lost it's charge after watching him crash in the 1970 Rebel 400. "We just bought our first television." said grandma. "I turned the knob and saw Wild World of Sports! Suddenly, his car split in half in the living room." After several prayers, The Player walked out of the car with a minor limp. "Banjo Matthews saved my life!" exclaimed The Player.
