Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
Procter's best was reserved for Gloucestershire, where he played as an overseas player for 13 years with great success. The county, which was struggling in 1969, went to second place as Procter took over 100 wickets. When Procter was in form with the bat, he made it count by scoring hundreds regularly and at will, as shown by his record 6 consecutive centuries in first class cricket for Rhodesia in 1970, and 4 first class tons for Gloucestershire in 1971. He also achieved the rare feat of taking 2 hat tricks in as many games in 1979, again for Gloucestershire. He led the side between 1977 and 1981, and led the team to the Benson & Hedges cup in 1977. His popularity was evident from the nickname for his county - Proctershire.
Procter did get the chance to play Test cricket too; he played 7 Tests, all against Australia. In those 7 matches, he showcased to the world how talented he was. With the ball, he took 41 wickets at an average of just 15. With the bat, he made useful contributions and South Africa defeated Australia in two successive series.
After his playing days, Procter became a match referee, a position where controversy followed him. He was the referee at the Oval in 2006 when Pakistan forfeited the Test after the umpires penalised them for ball tampering. In 2008, he was the referee at Sydney and banned Indian off spinner Harbhajan Singh for 3 matches on charges of racism (a decision which was overturned later). He stepped down from the post in 2008 and became South Africa's convener of selectors.

Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
Probably one of the most natural talents the game of cricket has ever seen, Mike Procter was denied the chance to showcase his talents on the international stage by South Africa's isolation. His performances in the seven Test matches he did play - all against Australia - suggest he would have kept favourable company with other great allrounders of the late 20th century such as Ian Botham, Imran Khan, Kapil Dev and Richard Hadlee. He took 41 wickets at 16 apiece, and averaged 34.83 with the bat in the second of the two series. Always one for the spectacular, Procter put together a string of memorable performances for his English county side Gloucestershire, to which he was passionately loyal. He scored six centuries in consecutive first-class innings while playing for Rhodesia in the early 1970s, and went on to coach South Africa as they returned to the international stage. He later became a member of the ICC's elite panel of match referees where controversy seemed to follow him - he was the referee at The Oval in 2006 when Pakistan forfeited the Test and again in Sydney in 2007-08 when he banned Harbhajan Singh. He stood down from the position in 2008 in order to take up a new role as South Africa's convener of selectors.
