Later Career
Having played 50 matches for Arsenal in five years, Caesar left the Gunners in June 1991 on a free transfer (having previously been on loan to Queens Park Rangers for several months). He then embarked on a journeyman's career, playing for Cambridge United, Bristol City, Airdrieonians and Colchester United.
While at Colchester United, Caesar enjoyed something of a renaissance. After a string of poor performances for the club, his form - particularly his reading of the game - improved significantly, and he contributed a run of composed appearances in central defence in the 1994/95 season that won over many fans at Layer Road. He then played at non-league level at Dagenham where he was popular thanks to his "nice bloke" personality.
Caesar finished his career in Hong Kong. Since his retirement in 2001, he has played in several "Football Masters" tournaments in East Asia, alongside many other fellow ex-professionals. He now splits his time between Hong Kong, where he works in the finance industry, and Essex in his native England.

Famous quotes containing the word career:
“From a hasty glance through the various tests I figure it out that I would be classified in Group B, indicating “Low Average Ability,” reserved usually for those just learning to speak the English Language and preparing for a career of holding a spike while another man hits it.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
““Never hug and kiss your children! Mother love may make your children’s infancy unhappy and prevent them from pursuing a career or getting married!” That’s total hogwash, of course. But it shows on extreme example of what state-of-the-art “scientific” parenting was supposed to be in early twentieth-century America. After all, that was the heyday of efficiency experts, time-and-motion studies, and the like.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
