Tveit got the nickname fygaren for his celebrations after scoring, where he stretched his arms out ran in a zig-zag movement. He is also remembered for a controversial situation in a match against Vard in 1988. In overtime, he headed the ball out of the hands of the goalkeeper, rounded him and was tackled. The following penalty kick, made by Arild Ravndal, sent Viking to the 1st Division at the expense of Start, who had to go to play-offs.[1][2]
