For Czechoslovakia, Prokeš played 19 matches as “Kloka” and scored one goal. “He was an inconspicuous, modest football player, absolutely reliable in defense, but always ready to attack the opponent’s goal. He had enough of everything a good full-back should have. He consistently performed at the top. In his time, he was the top player in this position in our country as well within the whole of Europe,” reminds Bohemians, adding that he played 11 seasons for the Vršovice club.
The club from Ďolíček expressed its deep condolences to the family and survivors, saying that on August 10 they will remember the legendary footballer with a minute of silence before the home match against Sparta.
