Sorry, WestBromwich Albion

I think your dates are out, West Brom were not formed until 1878.
Here is a link giving full details of his career

Find out his birth and death dates to get a better idea of when he played football
BUT - the oldest club in the world - Notts County - wasn't formed until 1862, so 1850's is unrealistic.
