Biography
Jimmy was one of four keepers on the books in season 1947-48. First-choice was Johnny Lynch, and with his deputy Ruben Bennett troubled by a knee injury, Jimmy was signed as back-up from Partick Thistle in October 1947.
However, in his first and only appearance that season, he looked shaky in the 3-1 Christmas Day defeat by Rangers at Dens. That prompted the signing of Jock Brown from Hibs. Consequently Steadward didn't figure in the first team again until the start of season 1949-50 when he replaced the injured Lynch in the final two League Cup sectional games against Partick Thistle and Motherwell.
In total, he only made three first team appearances and was released in April 1950.
