Piers Morgan Instagram – RIP Mike ‘Proccie’ Procter, one of cricket’s greatest all-rounders, and the nicest of men. Lost his Test career to South Africa’s apartheid sporting ban, but said: ‘What is a Test career compared to the suffering of 40 million people? Lots of people lost a great deal more in those years. and if by missing out on a Test career we played a part in changing an unjust system, then that is fine by me.‘ One of many of my childhood cricket heroes who lived up to every expectation when I got to know him later in life. Magnificent swashbuckling player, and an even better bloke.
