John Proctor (1871 – 8 November 1893) was an English footballer who played in the Football League for Stoke.[1]

Career

Proctor was born in Stoke-upon-Trent and played for Dresden United before joining Stoke in 1891.[1] He looked to be establishing himself as a potential great full back and played in every match during the 1892–93 season helping Stoke to claim their highest position to that point of 7th.[1] However, after playing 10 matches in the following campaign Proctor fell ill with pneumonia and died at the age of 22.[1] He was a married man, and not long before his death had taken on the tenancy of a pub, the Crown Inn at Fenton.[2]
