It depends on age also doesn't it?

155 bpm is too high for fat burn in a 25-30 year old.

Fat burn for my age is probally 120-140 bpm.

The older you get, the lower your heart rate is needed for exercise.

A 70 year old could do 90 bpm and that would be considered fat burning right?

Well your in marathon runner territory then, which sounds about right judging from the amount of running you say you do. The stronger you make your heart obviously the fewer beats you require as each heart beat is more powerful pumping more blood meaning the need for less beats.
I would suggest though if you tried playing football and doing that for 90 minutes you wouldn't feel to good after, as people have said there are all different kinds of fitness. For football a specialist form of circuit training is the norm involving repetitive quick bursts

If I go for Nozza's wanking record, will that be like marathon runner fitness territory?

I've noticed one arm is getting bigger than the other. Is this normal? Would this happen to a marathon runner?

If you say you resting heart rate is below 50 you should easily be able to reach a VO2 max of around 170 if you do a really heavy session which would be around 90% of your supposed maximum intensity. The minimum you'd want to do is 135bpm and you should be able to reach anything upto 180bpm....as a compromise I'd aim for somewhere between 160 and 170
