URI Geller has announced he will be setting up his own national football team, after declaring the Lamb as its own micronation, complete with logo, flag and anthem.

The Israeli illusionist purchased the island, off North Berwick, in 2009 for £30,000, with the belief it held a mystical connection with ancient Egypt and hidden buried treasure.

Mr Geller is now offering citizenship of the Lamb for $1, with all proceeds going to a charity for children with heart conditions in Israel.
