Personal life
editEirik Bertheussen is a younger brother of Tommy Bertheussen[6] (born 23 February 1973), a goalkeeper. Tommy started his youth career in IF Skarp, until he moved to Tromsdalen in his late childhood and joined Tromsdalen UIL. He spent most of his senior career in Tromsdalen, except for a spell when he studied at Bodø University College and played for FK Gevir Bodø. In 2003, he was signed by first-tier club Tromsø IL, appearing in three games in the 2003 Tippeligaen. He retired following that season.[7][8][9] His nickname was "Tiger-Tommy" or "Tiger'n", playing on "Tommy og Tiger'n" which is the Norwegian name of Calvin and Hobbes.[10][11] Outside of football, Tommy worked in Norges Råfisklag before starting his own accounting firm.[12]
