all the places he could have sat

Can I start a sentence this way?

All the places he could have sat he had to sit here.

Yes but you still need of to make that sentence make sense, grammar-wise. Of all the places he could have sat, he had to sit here. If you're referring to seats then I'd say Of all the seats he could have taken, he had to take this one here.
