Sham 69 formed in Hersham , Surrey in 1975, although originally known (according to some sources) as Jimmy and the Ferrets. ‘Sham 69’ is said to have derived from a piece of graffiti that co-founder Jimmy Pursey saw on a wall. It originally said Walton and Hersham ’69 but had partly faded away, and made reference to when Walton & Hersham F.C. secured the Athenian League title in 1969.
