A NORTH Berwick amateur football club is starting its journey to the top after Uri Geller adopted them as the national side of his newly proclaimed micronation on the Lamb.

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

As part of his nation unveiling, he revealed a flag, anthem, constitution and notably the desire to start a football team.

Now, North Berwick Amateurs FC have become that team, renaming themselves North Berwick Lamb Football Club.
