Brian Bedford, Robin Hood, 1971.  Tommy Steele, the first UK Elvis, and Terry Jones, the comic rave from the Monty Python troupe (and future director of some of their films) were early choices to voice  the Sherwood guy.  Despite several  important movies, Bedford was lesser known and indeed, sadly, never lived up to his early promise.  For example, his very next gig was the film of his Richard II at San Diego’s Old Globe Theatre… some13 years later.
