Ernie or Tom someone? Tom Daley?

Unfurls = anagram indicator, standards = normal = Marlon?

letters 3, 7

unfurls is an anagram indicator, but not for normal.

unfurls could be considered an extra clue.

Maybe the little fella is Sid / Syd, as in Little And Large?

Standards = rules? (to be scrambled)

unfurls....flag.....F1 driver maybe?

Not Sid/Syd - try another little fella.

Not rules (7 letters for the surname).

Cricketer.

Dark is fairly close to the 'night' word.....

What is 'ring' often denoted as cryptically?

That gives you the first name and an easy google
