It's possible that:
* It's a nickname. Perhaps a player with a more common name was nicknamed "Never" for some reason.
* It's a misspelling. There might be a player with a similar name that's been recorded incorrectly.
* It's a fictional character. It could be a name used in a book, movie, or game.
If you can remember any more details, such as the player's position, the team they played for, or the approximate time period, it might be easier to find out if they really existed.
