Comparison: I'm not a David Beckham, but I play soccer well. #1 (permalink) Tue Apr 21, 2009 6:17 am   Comparison: I'm not a David Beckham, but I play soccer well.		  
When I compare myself with a sportsman, which would be the most appropriate way to say that ?

I'm not a David Beckham, but I play soccer well.
I'm not David Beckham, but...
I'm not like David Beckham, but...
I'm not as David Beckham, but...

Thanks in advance.
