Quad for Kop would be an amazing feat but great teams of the past had it so much tougher

IF LIVERPOOL wins the Quadruple this season, or if they or Manchester City win it anytime soon, it will obviously be a fantastic achievement.

But it won't be any greater than Tottenham's Double in 1960-61, Arsenal's in 1970-71, or Liverpool's in 1985-86.

Nor will it be any greater than Manchester United's Treble in 1998-99 which, pound for pound, would still be the greatest achievement of them all.

I'm not even sure it would be the greatest Quadruple ever, either, because that accolade surely has to belong to Billy McNeill (right) and the Celtic team of 1966-67.

The Lisbon Lions won the Scottish top flight at a time when it was the equal of the English First Division, two domestic cups and the European Cup... with just 14 players.

I know some of you youngsters in particular - will scoff and say football is much better these days than it was back then.
