Hanna claims he is making his own film on Kim Newcombe and the Konig. I worked with the cameraman recently who taped the interview with Newcombe’s widow back in 2004, I have worked also for Richard Driver -an honorable person well known in the film & TV world… Hanna arrived at the location with no questions prepared at all. The producer, Richard Driver who organised and financed the project, had to write an the entire set of questions for Hanna -and he still fluffed his way along. So Hanna’s claim of his own film is fraudulent. Driver paid for the key interview filming that Tim Hanna claims as the basis for his ‘film’ and Driver also wrote -at last minute-Hanna’s questions
Yet ‘I wuz robbed’ says Hanna – yeah right. Be warned do not enter into any agreement with this man.

There are two sides to every story and me thinks Hanna doth protest too much in his bizzarre rant.

Nein: Newcombe’s tilt at the world GP is a worthwhile story subject.

The forward of Hanna’s book reveals a dark side to his character.Personal vitrilolic rants driven by jealously and a covetous obession with Newcombe’s widow. Very distracting to have his personal agenda intrude on what should be a balanced and factual account. The book is probably self-published as I recall some unsavoury news stories about him sueing publishers and viceversa.

I see from your post that you are a decendant of the Konig family in Germany. My grandfather told me we were from Germany and had changed our name to King, possibly because we had been Hessian soldiers left behind by the British. I was able to find the first child to be named King instead of Konig was in 1835, either in Pensylvania or Tennessee . Do your family records show a John King born about that time? He served in the Confederate army during the War Between The States. Possibly there might be a family connection?

As far as the Konig go,s if it were ant good which it was not due to reliability problems. It would still be made today. As for Kim Newcombe it is a fact that he is a world cup loser. Nobody rembers who came 2nd.. Poor subject matter for any book Any one who should write such a book would be on to a loser, Enter Tim hanna.. If it were not for Word this book would have been unable to happen as tim can not even spell.
