What a privilege as a kid to be able to watch some of the greatest cricketers of all time, live at Kingsmead. For the price of a cooldrink too. Proccie; Barry; Graeme (for EP & Tvl); Ricey and so on. What memories! Proccie and Barry even played club cricket in those days, down the road at DHS Old Boys & Glenwood Old Boys. Big Vince, Proccie & Kenny Cooper- a fearsome bowling line-up.

That’s a lovely obituary to a truly great player - I was fortunate enough to have seen him play for Glocs against Surrey when I was a kid.
A great man - a true legend and a fitting tribute thanks Manners
Beautifully written. I'll be looking up any footage of the man in action I can find.
Love all the references in the press to him being called Proctershire during his time in county cricket as well.
Thanks for your good works.
Lovely words Manners.
The great World XI in the sky just got a quality allrounder.
RIP Proc!
A beautiful obituary to a great cricketer
RIP Mike Proctor
Great tribute to him. Neil . RIP
One of the best ever - I'd pick him ahead of any other bowling allrounder every time!
