Reck moved to FC Schalke 04 in 1998, aged 33, still amassing a further 112 league matches. In his last season, he played second-fiddle to Frank Rost, and chose to retire. Although Oliver Kahn holds the record for most matches without conceding goals in the league, at 180 in a total of 515 matches, Reck is the most effective goalkeeper, not conceding a goal in 173 of 471 matches, with an ``effectivity rate'' of 0.367, versus Kahn's 0.349. On February 9, 2002, in his penultimate year, Reck scored a penalty kick for Schalke, in a 4--0 home routing of FC St. Pauli.
