David Bytheway, a 22-year-old from Wolverhampton, is an official player for Bundesliga side Wolfsburg - but he's not a footballer, he's a pro-gamer. Speaking to 5 live Breakfast's Nicky Campbell, David described gaming as a "mental sport" but said that it would be "a very long process" before it were ever seen in the Olympics. "In a way it is just playing computer games, but you could say Barcelona are just playing football," he said. David has been playing at a professional level since he was around 17 and also works for EA Sports on their gaming community and forums. This clip is originally from 5 live Breakfast on February 3 2016.
