"We used to go opposite Cuffy Square at that small field which was there to play with Daniel Wilson and a small group in the afternoons and evenings", recalled Caesar in an interview with Kaieteur Sport in 2021.[2]
Caesar attended St. Sidewell’s Primary School, which is situated opposite the field where he started playing football. He later attended St. Mary's Secondary School and Chase's Academy, securing a football scholarship at the latter.[2]
