When Peter Smith was a young boy he was obsessed with football. He would play every lunchtime at school and any other time he got the chance. But when he hit the age of 19 he and his identical twin David were both diagnosed with mental health problems - both with bipolar disorder, formerly known as manic depression. They were frequently in and out treatment, and Peter found himself becoming more and more reclusive. BBC News
