Procter competed in all types of cycle racing at home and on the Continent, but excelled in hill climbs, winning the British championship in 1951.
After becoming disillusioned with UK cycling, and after the British Olympic Committee failed to select both him and other top cyclists of the time to represent Great Britain in the Olympics, Procter dropped out of professional cycling to concentrate on his building company in Bradford.
After several somersaults, the car burst into flames and Procter was left with third degree burns to 65 per cent of his skin.
After many months of treatment and operations, he left hospital and returned home to Yorkshire, where he lived with his wife and family.
