Sham 69 are an English punk band that formed in Hersham in 1975. They have been a huge musical and lyrical influence on the Oi! and streetpunk genres, despite not achieving the same commercial success as their peers. The band derived their name from football-related graffiti that founder Jimmy Pursey saw on a wall.
