Eirik Bertheussen (born 2 April 1984) is a Norwegian football defender.

He played at Norway's top level for Tromsø in 2003 and for Lillestrøm in 2006, 2007 and 2008.[1] He played several full seasons in the 1. divisjon, mostly for Tromsdalen UIL.

In 2017, he was announced as coach for FK Senja. His responsibility was to train a part of the team, namely the group of players who resided in Tromsø.[2] In May 2017, the head coach left Senja, and Bertheussen became caretaker assistant under Kjetil Warholm.[3] In 2018, Bertheussen was brought to Lyngen/Karnes by their coach, an old teammate Ole Talberg.[4] Bertheussen only played in the cup preliminary round.[5]

Personal life

[edit]

Eirik 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]
