Selfie competiton winner has used a picture from the internet.

Just noticed the winner for this - https://www.facebook.com/TheNottingham/posts/1212400105554922 - it's a selfie competition. The definition of selfie is:
"selfie
ˈsɛlfi/
nouninformal
noun: selfie; plural noun: selfies; noun: selfy

a photograph that one has taken of oneself, typically one taken with a smartphone or webcam and shared via social media."

However the winner has clearly used a picture from the internet - http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/match-reports/nottingham-forest-2-2-derby-10051534, this picture - Nottingham-Forest-v-Derby-County-Sky-Bet-Championship-City-Ground.jpg

    The winner is the man with black anorak top right - his left hand is out of shot because he is holding a massive selfie stick :-)

    The text says the winner is the man holding the child in the green coat and op has provided link to the original newspaper picture
    "If ever there is a tomorrow when we're not together... there is something you must always remember. You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. But the most important thing is, even if we're apart... I'll always be with you. "
    A.A. Milne

    We are such stuff
    As dreams are made on; and our little life
    Is rounded with a sleep.
