Just plain Haysie's hit Parade


‘Tis the season to be jolly…tra la la la la…la la la la.

Unless of course you happen to be one of the hapless souls Down Under, slapping on the sunscreen on a daily basis (paying particular attention to the roof of their mouths), sweltering in the hot sun, losing game after game and sheepishly (had to make a reference!) fronting to one depressing press conference after another. Yep, the poms have had a shocker and Xmas cheer has eluded that bunch.

Nasser Hussain can take comfort on one front…..he has made it into the much awaited Haysie’s top 25 songs of the year…….on more than one occasion!
